Will this rack wobble a lot with a 2 inch hitch? Can it be locked to the hitch?

Not even a little - I use it that way and it is rock solid. Yes it can be locked to the hitch quite easily as well - its right in the handle where you tighten it down - you just lock it up and your good to go. Best Rack I ve ever owned - cant go wrong on this one.

You would need a 2 inch receiver adapter. I have a 1 1/4" receiver for this model and it is solid.

In my experience, the rack wobbles very little. A well-designed knob tightens the shaft of the rack against the inside of the receiver. Then, a safety pin inserts into a hole through the receiver and into one side of the rack shaft. The locking mechanism is pretty clever. After the rack is installed and the knob tightened to your satisfaction, a key is used to disengage the tightening knob such that it rotates freely. That way, while the system is quite easy to install and to remove, it is not easy to steal because the knob simply rotates freely until the key is used to re-engage it with the tightening mechanism. Very simple design, very effective. My only concern with the design had been that the shaft doesn't sit very deep into the receiver at all. I was really worried that it almost seemed as it if couldn't possibly hold. Nonetheless, in use, it has worked very well and it never loosens or slips, even after long trips. I'm thoroughly satisfied. It's are superior to the previous system that I had been using.

No, it will not. It"wedges" itself into the 2" receiver when you turn the adjusting knob, and then fis snugly.

Sorry I really can't answer this question since I sent it back due to being very unstable. If I remember correctly it fit my 2" hitch but I wouldn't use it unless u had a 2"!

Only if you have a trailer hitch for a 2" receiver. If you have a 1" hitch you might be able to get a 1" to 2" adapter from say Harbor Freight. This bike rack will not strap or hook to your vehicle any other way.....Hope this helped. John

Yes as long has it has a 5/8" hole. It will just stick out the side a little more than on a 2" hitch.

No, this is only compatible with a 2" hitch receiver. Adapters are available, but keep in mind, you would be supporting the beefy 2" by a 1.25" piece and would cause the rack to be cantilevered out even further (a lot of stress on the adapter).

It will fit in 2 different size hitches. I have a 2 inch but it will fit in the standard sized smaller one. It should work fine.

Yes. Even if you don't have a 2" receiver, it'll still work. The base of this rack is easily reversible. Allowing it to work with the 2 different standard size receivers.

The rack has a sleeve that fits over the tongue to make it 2". Removing 1 screw on the sleeve makes the rack accommodate a 1 1/4" hitch size

The collar on the bolt should go through the hole in the receiver. The collar serves to push the rack against the side of the receiver. Thus eliminating the wobble. Mine has no wobble what so ever.

If your car has a two inch hitch attached underneath, then this rack will do fine. If you have no hitch, this rack will not work for you

If the tire is center mounted probably not. The rack fits a 2" hitch though. You would have to put the tire somewhere else.

Movement of the rack within the hitch receiver will vary depending on the size of the receiver. Even though both of my hitches have 1 1/4" receivers, the rack fits snugly in one and loose in the other.

The rack shank will slide into the hitch receiver and lock in place with a pin. If it doesn't assemble, verify you actually have a 2" receiver, not a 1.25" which is more common on light duty SUVs.

Can't quit picture this but I will try. Seems like your going to end up with two breaks one for the 2"" adapter end and one 1 1/4 "end. This is a pretty simple but effective device and you can almost tell if it will work by just looking closely at picture. I am pretty sure it will stop the wobble at the hitch, but you are going to have wobble at the 1 1/4 "" connection. I really think that this might even work at this end, but you need a wrench and you probably want the ease of taking on and off without tools.

It is very adjustable, but I can't say for sure. you have to measure your rails and see if they fall within the parameters of the rack.

Not sure what you are asking for sure. The pin that holds the rack to the hitch is threaded so it would take quite a bit to take the rack, as for the bike, I don't think there is a way to lock it to the rack. I love the rack, but never leave my bike on it for any length of time unattended.

There is an adapter that fits on to the bike rack before you insert it into the receiver hitch. The adapter allows the rack to insert into the 2" hitch and not move around.
